Financial Aid Initiative Matching Gift Challenge

What would Fletcher’s student body look like if tuition was no longer a barrier? What if students could choose a career path that was a realized dream and not one chosen based on the financial burden attached to student loans? These are the questions Fletcher will answer with our new Financial Aid Initiative.

As part of a university-wide drive to increase financial aid, The Fletcher School will match all gifts of $100,000 or more for existing or newly established endowed scholarships. As scholarship aid continues to be a top priority at Fletcher, our goal is simple: to meet the growing needs of our student population. Our combined efforts in this matching gift challenge will allow Fletcher to graduate the next round of global leaders, debt free.
